Ormond Beach

Ocean’s mist creates fog at dawn Ramble along the beach or take a Morning hike on a nature trail Observe the herons, cranes and pelicans No species are unprotected here Drop the rifle and pick up a camera Boars will surprise you on woodland paths Each river is filled with manatees and alligators Awesome white-tailed deer prance through the forests Children create sand fortresses on the beach Hiding from nature’s beauty is impossible here A canvas can only capture an image But first-hand visits are truly a privilege

Wow, that sounds like a perfect place to live my friend! I do enjoyed were I live, but I also enjoy other places as well! I know you love the ocean, as you have written about it many times, and I enjoy the ocean too, especially the lighthouses that are on the ocean...I absolutely love them! I could live in one and be completely happy! This is a fabulous write Carolyn! I truly enjoyed reading this lovely poem this morning! What a terrific piece, Great Work!!
